Frequently asked questions about acexchange.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover when choosing bank.pay?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure acexchange.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim acexchange.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of acexchange.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a fintech founder use .PAY for a branded payment page?

Yes. A fintech founder can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

How do I move acexchange.dot to a different nameserver or DNS host?

To switch DNS hosts for acexchange.dot, recreate your existing records at the new provider first, then update the nameservers for acexchange.dot at the registrar to the new ones. Keeping the zone identical avoids downtime during the cutover. Edit nameservers for acexchange.dot from /domains.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for a payroll platform?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
